Holarrhena pubescens, the fever pod, kurchi bark, Tellicherry bark or conessi,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is native to central and southern Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Indochina, and parts of China.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Holarrhena pubescens is sometimes confused with the species Wrightia antidysenterica due to a second, taxonomically invalid publication of the name Holarrhena pubescens. In Cambodia, it is called /tɨk dɑh kʰlaː thɔm/ ទឹកដោះខ្លាធំ big tiger milk or /kʰlaɛɲ kŭəŋ/ ខ្លែងគង់ invulnerable kite.[10] These seeds are sold as indraja (इनद्राजा) for Ayurvedic medicine in India.
